He's the first man to attempt walkng the length of the western hemnisphere - f rom the tip of South Arnerica to Alaska. So far, he's walked 14,039 miles, and gone through eight pairs of boots! George could be a character right out of one, 0f Rudyard Kipling's yarns of adventure and romance. A young Englishman, he Ieft school when he was 16 and woent to sea. He'sailed around the world for 7 years, and whiIe in Japan met and married his wife Yoehiko. She be- gan the walk wiÀth him. They had a few thousand dollars, but it soon ran out. After that they lived by faith and the support of f riends they made along the way. Then the children camne along. First their daughter Ayumiî (which mesans "walk") and then a son, Geoffery Susumna ("keep goingi), Voshiko vWnt back to Japan to stay with her parents. George kept going! 1They're ail together for the winter now, living in a nioe littie house that became available through friends George met whiîe on the road. Things like that happen to Meegan ail the timre. We had coffee at the Cricklewooci Restaurant on Elm- vale's main street, then went over to his place where I met Yoshiko and the chiîdren. They vere getting ready for a party. Not for one 0f the children, but oelebrating the fifth anniversary 0f the day the walk began. "Yoeh" as he olils her, had made a birthday bread. Not a cake -- a loaf of bread with five candles on it. t was a re- minder of somne 0f the days they've ived by bread alone. We ail had a piece 0f birthday bread and I asked George why he was maki ng the epic walk. "Everybody has a journey in'them," he said. "it's a semi-reli;gious thing -- perhaps a oelebration 0f freedom. " And whiat does "Yosh" think about it? She'Il be glad wh-en its over, but is behind her husband one hundred per cent. She wiishes she could be waIkinq with him. Meanwihiîe George has written a book about his travels, and is working on a second one, WMen he completes his odessey he hopes to becomne a journaîist in Engîand or Je- pan. But he estimnates it wiIl be another two years before he arrives in Alaska. If he makes it, it wiii be the iongest walk in history!

By: Frank Modeli Experiece Canadas Woods, Water and Wildlife By Ron Reid - Federation of Ontario Naturajists "Canada - a massive ex- panse of "id country with only a thin ribbon of settle- ment çlinging to the southern frontier. Despite ail the sophistication of our cihies, we are stili a butterfly- on a boulder, a northern people in a land of mountain range and prairie,' of tundra, shield and shore. Our great heritage is flot of casties and cathedrals, but of herds of countless caribou running free across the Barrens or of unspoiled northern rivers." This glowing description of our country and its people sums up the motivation for a unique travet service catled Canadian Nature Tours.' CNT is non-profit, with its sole objective of helping Canadians to tearn more about the marveltous country that we share.
